Do you remember if there were any questions—it looks like he was on the 1900 call but not on the 1800 call. Is that correct?

That's possible. My recollection is that the 1800 call was more DOD and law enforcement, talking about where are we, is the building clear, how long will it take the building to get clear, are we going to be able to secure the perimeter, things like that. And the 1900 call was more toward the political leadership about when they can get back to work.

Q Do you remember if there were any questions posed by Mr. Meadows during that 1900 call?

I don't remember that.
